Hi Yaakov, I will not take this statement "microservices should communicate with each other using language agnostics API like REST" as a dogma written on stone. I am developing a microservice architecture using Akka-cluster, so that each microservice join the same cluster. Then I have some actor that as the entrypoints for that service.
You can customize the serialisation format of the exchanged message, making them forward-compatible. The JSON serialization is a bottleneck both for performance that for back-and-forward-compatibility. My 2cents.
